License Overview Chapter 6 Troubleshooting Licensing Send documentation comments to [email protected] Chassis Serial Numbers Licenses are created using the serial number of the chassis where the license file is to be installed. Once you order a license based on a chassis serial number, you cannot use this license on any other switch. If you use a license meant for another chassis, you may see the following system message: Error Message LICMGR-3-LOG_LIC_INVALID_HOSTID: Invalid license hostid VDH=[chars] for feature [chars]. Explanation The feature has a license with an invalid license Host ID. This can happen if a supervisor module with licensed features for one switch is installed on another switch. Recommended Action Reinstall the correct license for the chassis where the supervisor module is installed. Grace Period If you use a feature that requires a license but have not installed a license for that feature, you are given a 120 day grace period to evaluate the feature. You must purchase and install the number of licenses required for that feature before the grace period ends or Cisco SAN-OS will disable the feature at the end of the grace period. If you try to use an unlicensed feature, you may see the following system messages: Error Message LICMGR-2-LOG_LIC_GRACE_EXPIRED: Grace period expired for feature [chars]. Explanation The unlicensed feature has exceeded its grace time period. Applications using this license will be shut down immediately. Recommended Action Please install the license file to continue using the feature. Error Message LICMGR-3-LOG_LICAPP_NO_LIC: Application [chars] running without [chars] license, shutdown in [dec] days. Explanation The Application [chars1] has not been licensed. The application will work for a grace period of [dec] days after which it will be shut down unless a license file for the feature is installed. Recommended Action Install the license to continue using the feature. Error Message LICMGR-3-LOG_LIC_LICENSE_EXPIRED: Evaluation license expired for feature [chars]. Explanation The feature has exceeded its evaluation time period. The feature will be shut down after a grace period. Recommended Action Install the license to continue using the feature.
